Agatha Bas (1611-58)
View through Europeana Collections
This is one of the most beautiful portraits in the Royal Collection. Its companion, in the Muse Royal des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, depicts Nicolaes van Bembeeck (1596-1661), a wool merchant who had married Agatha Bas (1611-58) in 1638. It is also signed and dated 1641. The couple lived in the Sint Anthoniesbreestraat, where Rembrandt himself lived from 1631; they were almost certainly known to the artist.
